Brian,

Thx for the suggestion, reason I installed the x64 version was because my OS

is x64 as well. Thought that a x64 bit version of office2010 should be a

better match.

Now for troubleshooting...

Removed x64 and installed the x86 version. Now I'm a step further, but a

step back as well. Outlook starts but the other apps, like Excel, Word etc.

report that certain program features are missing and suggest to re-install

their particular app. Added to that, Outlook seems a bit buggy as well.

Every action I try to do in Outlook itself, prompts me with the

Configuration panel, where it is self-configuring the app. It's a panel I'm

used too at a first-time startup, not each-and-every action I'm trying to do

after the first-time startup. Even when closing Outlook, it is 'Configuring

Progress' and finally crashes the app, with mso.dll being the 'Fault Module

Name'.

So in-all this RTM version of 2010 doesn't seem as stable as I thought it

would be, taken into account that maybe my PC is the culprit? I'm going to

revert back to 2007 (again!!). Went back to 2007 when I tried the

2010Beta(x64), after I found out the MobileDeviceCenter wasn't quite

compatible in the x64 version and it didn't sync my contacts. Now again, the

x64 add-ins being a showstopper... why releasing a x64 in all? (Hope someone

from the Office PG is reading this post as well)

Are there any extensive logging features as to why the program is

'Configuring Progress' over-and-over?

Will let you know if the revert to Office2007 gives me a stable app.

Regards,

Marcel

update...

Removed Office2007 and rebooted.

Choose again to install the x64 version of Office2010, because all the other

application (Word, Excel etc) were stable with this version (not the x86

I can't think of why this is happening. Perhaps someone else will. Office

2010 32 bit should work fine on Windows 7 64 bit, too. Sorry I wasn't able to

Doesn't matter if it matches your OS - there are no addins for it. 32bit is highly recommended unless you *need* 64bit for reasons other than you use 64bit os. (Huge file support - over 2 Gb - is the only reason to use 64bit)

However, this is not why outlook won't work or why you're having problems with the 32bit build.

The recommendations for which edition of Office 2010 to install are as follows:

<LI class=unordered>If users in your organization depend on existing extensions to Office, such as ActiveX controls, third-party add-ins, in-house solutions built on previous versions of Office, or 32-bit versions of programs that interface directly with Office, we recommend that you install 32-bit Office 2010 (the default installation) on computers that are running both 32-bit and 64-bit supported Windows operating systems.

If some users in your organization are Excel expert users who work with Excel spreadsheets that are larger than 2 gigabytes (GB), they can install the 64-bit edition of Office 2010. In addition, if you have in-house solution developers, we recommend that those developers have access to the 64-bit edition of Office 2010 so that they can test and update your in-house solutions on the 64-bit edition of Office 2010.

Slipstick,

Thx for your suggestions. I did not do an upgrade, but a 'clean' install

several times. I have tried the new profile suggestion many times as well,

to no avail.

As Brian Tillman suggested as well, I have reverted back to the 32bit

version once more. Problem I now have, is that every time I start Outlook or

one of the other apps, the 'first time installation' wizard is started. It's

the screen you get when you start an application for the first time. After

that first time, it is not shown again. In my install, this screen returns

during each and every action I initiate in the Outlook application. When I

start ie. Excel, it reports missing dll's

What wonders me most, is the fact that when I remove 2010 and re-install

2007, all is well. And that the 2010 64bit <> 32bit version behave

differently in error. However, I think I'm gonna give it a rest and start
